EasyABC Files

This note was written in December 30 2024. It is likely
that in another year, most of the contents of this folder
may become obsolete.

If you do not need to run EasyABC from source code, then
none of the contents of this folder is of interest to you.

Python and its supporting libraries keep on evolving rapidly.
Presently Python3.10 seems to be the standard on most systems;
however, Python3.11 and Python3.12 are in the works. EasyABC
depends on Python and WxPython. Most of the problems that
we are encountering is dealing with the incompatibilities
between Python and WxPython. I imagine these incompatibilities
will be resolved eventually since WxPython is one of the
most popular libraries for creating user interfaces.

running_EasyABC_in_a_container.txt describes how to install
Python 3.08, EasyABC, and various Python 3.08 packages and libraries
in a hidden folder that is not normally visible to the Linux
Mint 22.01 system. It is quite a complex procedure.

fixing_wxpython.txt describes how to get EasyABC running in
Python 3.10. This involves replacing the source code to two
of WxPython files -- auibar.py and rcsizer.py -- both of
which are provided here.

easyABC_patches.zip was created and contributed by 
mmehl for launching EasyABC with Python 3.11.11
See https://github.com/jwdj/EasyABC/issues/78
There may be other unresolved issues.
